Book excerpt: E-artnow presents to you the complete novels by one of the greatest novelists of English literature. This edition includes: "Burmese Days" – a tale from the waning days of British colonialism, when Burma was ruled from Delhi as a part of British India–a portrait of the dark side of the British Raj. "A Clergyman's Daughter" – which tells the story of Dorothy Hare, the clergyman's daughter of the title, whose life is turned upside down when she suffers an attack of amnesia. "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" – is set in 1930s London. The main theme is Gordon Comstock's romantic ambition to defy worship of the money-god and status, and the dismal life that results. "Coming Up for Air" – Published shortly before the outbreak of World War II, this novel combines premonitions of the impending war with images of an idyllic Thames-side Edwardian era childhood. "Animal Farm" – is an allegorical novel which reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. "1984" – a political and dystopian science-fiction novel set in Airstrip One, a province of the superstate Oceania. The story is about a mind-numbing world in a state of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance and public manipulation.
